A handbook on the basic sciences as they apply to trauma, to help the trainee diagnose injuries, understand underlying pathological changes and design treatments. It examines the pathophysiology of trauma, incorporating advances in clinical biochemistry, immunology and imaging techniques.

A concise volume for trainee surgeons and A&E physicians on the basic sciences as they apply to trauma. A thorough understanding of this area is essential to ensure correct diagnosis and management. The main aim of the book is to teach the applied basic sciences of trauma in order to enable the trainee to diagnose injuries, understand the underlying pathological changes and then design appropriate treatments. The reader will also be able to understand the basic principles of surgical critical care which has now become a major part of trauma care.

The editors examine the pathophysiology of trauma, incorporating recent advances in clinical biochemistry, immunology and new imaging techniques to understand the pathological anatomy of the injury. New research is examined which enables clinicians to understand ligamentous and bone injuries, and their problems in unsuccessful healing.
